Subject: [PATCH v14 19/26] crypto: iaa - Enable async mode and make it the default.
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2026 19:35:30 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260125033537.334628-20-kanchana.p.sridhar@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260125033537.334628-1-kanchana.p.sridhar@intel.com>
This patch enables the 'async' sync_mode in the driver. Further, it sets
the default sync_mode to 'async', which makes it easier for IAA hardware
acceleration in the iaa_crypto driver to be loaded by default in the most
efficient/recommended 'async' mode for parallel
compressions/decompressions, namely, asynchronous submission of
descriptors, followed by polling for job completions. Earlier, the
"sync" mode used to be the default.
The iaa_crypto driver documentation has been updated with these
changes.
This way, anyone who wants to use IAA as a zswap compressor, can do so
right after building the kernel. Specifically, they *do not* have to go
through these steps to use async mode:
1) disable all the IAA device/wq bindings that happen at boot time
2) rmmod iaa_crypto
3) modprobe iaa_crypto
4) echo async > /sys/bus/dsa/drivers/crypto/sync_mode
5) re-run initialization of the IAA devices and wqs
